RUSH: Holy smokes!<\/p>\nRUSH: Branson, Missouri. Jack, welcome, sir. You\u2019re next on Open Line Friday. Hi.<\/p>\n
CALLER: Hey, Rush. Thanks for taking my call.<\/p>\n
RUSH: You bet, sir. Welcome to the program.<\/p>\n
CALLER: Yeah. Hey, so, I\u2019ve been listening to you for 34 years. Back in Sacramento in 1984.<\/p>\n
RUSH: Holy smokes!<\/p>\n
CALLER: (chuckling) I go way back.<\/p>\n
RUSH: You are a real lifer. Yeah.<\/p>\n
CALLER: I\u2019ve been with you the whole time, and I can remember the day, the first time you did safe talk.<\/p>\n
RUSH: (chuckling)<\/p>\n
CALLER: I lived in the suburb of Rio Linda, and I was driving down Highway 80 —<\/p>\n
RUSH: Wait a minute.<\/p>\n
CALLER: — and I laughed so hard, I had to pull over.<\/p>\n
RUSH: You lived in Rio Linda?<\/p>\n
CALLER: I mean, I died laughing. I was laughing so hard, I had to pull over.<\/p>\n
RUSH: You lived in Rio Linda?<\/p>\n
CALLER: A suburb of Rio Linda.<\/p>\n
RUSH: “A suburb of Rio Linda.” I was gonna say, “Nobody admits it.” (laughing)<\/p>\n
CALLER: Yeah. (laughing) Sacramento.<\/p>\n
RUSH: (laughing) Safe talk. So you were laughing so hard you had to pull off the road?<\/p>\n
CALLER: I had to pull off, Rush, and I\u2019ve been laughing ever since. I really appreciate what you\u2019re doing, and really appreciate the opportunity to tell you.<\/p>\n
RUSH: But you got any thoughts…?<\/p>\n
CALLER: That was way back. Sacramento is where you started and to get (garbled) —<\/p>\n
RUSH: Oh, I know.<\/p>\n
CALLER: (laughing) It was real good.<\/p>\n
RUSH: I owe a lot to Sacramento. It was the first place in my entire radio career where I had any meaningful success at all, and I thoroughly… I lived there 3-1\/2 years, and I thoroughly enjoyed it. I did. Before you go here, do you have any thoughts on what\u2019s happening here in the news with Cesar Sayoc and his van, pipe bombs to Democrats and “CNN Sucks” and all that?<\/p>\n
CALLER: Well, I just think it\u2019s gonna be real interesting to see how it really comes out, because, like you\u2019ve been mentioning here about the van and things, things do look like a setup, but we just don\u2019t know until we really get the details.<\/p>\n
RUSH: I know. The sad thing is, where we are in our country right, there are gonna be people who are not gonna believe what they\u2019re told about this anyway, no matter what law enforcement tells us. One thing for sure, this guy… He\u2019s never gonna see the sun again. He\u2019s gonna go away to jail for the rest of his life. I mean… (interruption) No, there\u2019s too many statutes. You start sending bombs around; it doesn\u2019t matter whether they go off or not. There\u2019s so many statutes that carry so many years of sentencing that this guy\u2019s toast anyway.<\/p>\n
(interruption) I\u2019m not talking about the death penalty, but he terrorized a nation. He terrorized a news network! (interruption) What do you mean, “He didn\u2019t hurt anybody”? He\u2019s violated… No. Look, I\u2019m not exaggerating. Here he has violated so many federal statutes with this that if he\u2019s convicted on even a few of them, the number of years he\u2019s gonna get here are such that he\u2019ll never see the sun again. Well, he\u2019ll never be free. He\u2019s gonna be in jail the rest of his life.<\/p>\n
But my point is there are people who are gonna be terribly disbelieving of whatever we\u2019re told actually happened here. It\u2019s just the nature of the beast. (interruption) What? (interruption) Safe talk? Safe talk? “What was safe talk?” Well, it was my way of illustrating absurdity by being absurd. That occurred back in 1984, \u201985, and back then safe sex was all the rage for a number of reasons, not spreading STDs and not getting pregnant and therefore not needing abortions.<\/p>\n
Abstinence, which works every time it\u2019s tried, was being laughed at and pooh-poohed as unrealistic. You can\u2019t say, “Just don\u2019t do it.” That\u2019s not… Do something. So safe sex came up and it basically meant use a condom. So I thought that I would demonstrate the folly of this belief by demonstrating safe talk. And what I did was, over a series of days — I didn\u2019t just do it once. First I grabbed a condom and I stretched it tight and I placed it on the microphone.<\/p>\n
